New product title requirements effective as of January 21, 2025
We’re updating our product title policy to standardise listings and enhance the shopping experience across our stores.
Over time, we’ve observed that product titles have become longer and they sometimes include redundant wording or characters that can decrease customer confidence. These new policy changes will help ensure that product titles are clear, concise and consistent.
The following new requirements will take effect on January 21, 2025:
- For most product categories, titles may not exceed 200 characters, including spaces.
- The special characters !, $, ?, _, {, }, ^, ¬ and ¦ are not allowed, unless they are part of the brand name.
- Titles may not contain the same word more than twice. Prepositions, articles and conjunctions are exceptions.
If you have titles that do not comply with the requirements listed above, we recommend that you update them.
Starting on January 21, all title changes will be subject to the updated policy and you’ll be able to view and fix any non-compliant titles in Manage all inventory.
Additionally, we’ll provide override suggestions for non-compliant titles to brand owners in Review listing updates. Brand owners will have 14 days to act upon on the suggestions before we update the titles to comply with our requirements. These suggestions will be rolled out gradually.
Your listings will remain active during this process and you’ll still be able to make edits to your product titles as long as your changes comply with the new policy.

Not allowing a certain word more than twice is exactly the kind of one size fits all rule that is destroying the catalogue.
Besides which, do we really expect the bots to know the difference between an item with lot, charlotte, slot all in and an item with ergonomic chair, comfy chair, gaming chair?

Looks like the end of Na Na Na dolls. There is no way the Amazon bots will be able to cope with the same word 3 times in a row.

If we follow the guidelines are we going to be at a disadvantage from those sellers who don't? Cramming in keywords surely increases visability.
